This is the same woman who dished on Michelle Obama’s appearance on her show, saying she was eating just about everything. Um, Paula Deen is learning a hard lesson — her dishes will literally kill you. When you have someone pushing the Brunch Burger, which is donuts for buns topped bacon, egg and a beef patty, you might as well walk into oncoming traffic because you are one heart attack for a morgue.

Paula Deen, a Food Network personality will go public with her condition soon, according to a report on The Daily website. What’s she going to say? Channel Steve Urkel and say “did I do that?” The Daily report, which cites an anonymous source saying Deen is “going to have to start cooking healthier recipes,” and will soon become the celebrity endorser for a pharmaceutical company. Um, you think?

Paula Deen’s affinity to rich ingredients is almost suicidal and you have people who swear by her recipes.
